Getting Started in 5 minutes

This path gives first-time users a small, practical start before reading the full project documentation.
1. Install Node.js if needed
The Skills.sh CLI runs through npx, so you need Node.js available:
node --version
npx --version
If either command is missing, install Node.js with your operating system package manager.
2. Choose your agent and download the Skills
Install every skill from the Skills.sh registry entry for this project into the agent you use most often:
# Cursor
npx skills add jabrena/plinth --skill '*' --agent cursor -y
# Claude Code
npx skills add jabrena/plinth --skill '*' --agent claude-code -y
# Codex
npx skills add jabrena/plinth --skill '*' --agent codex -y
# GitHub Copilot
npx skills add jabrena/plinth --skill '*' --agent github-copilot -y
To install for every supported agent, use the CLI's all-agent mode:
npx skills add jabrena/plinth --skill '*' --agent '*' -y
To inspect the available skills first:
npx skills add jabrena/plinth --list
3. Install the project commands
After installing the skills, tell your agent which AI agent harness tool you use: cursor, claude-code, codex, or github-copilot.
install @004-commands-installation cursor
install @004-commands-installation claude-code
install @004-commands-installation codex
install @004-commands-installation github-copilot
The installer copies the embedded project commands into the command directory for your tool. It supports command destinations for Cursor, Claude, Codex, and GitHub Copilot, and it asks before writing files.
Typical command destinations are:
.cursor/commands.claude/commands.codex/commands.github/commands
4. Install the project agents when your tool supports them
Commands and skills are enough to start. If you also want the predefined robot agents, tell your agent which AI agent harness tool you use: cursor, claude-code, codex, or github-copilot.
install @005-agents-installation cursor
install @005-agents-installation claude-code
install @005-agents-installation codex
install @005-agents-installation github-copilot
Typical agent destinations are:
.cursor/agents.claude/agents.codex/agents.github/agents
5. Use the workflow
This project organizes AI-assisted Java work around four building blocks:
Commandsare the entry points, such as/onboarding,/update-issue,/create-spec, and/implement-spec.Agentsdefine responsibilities, such as business analysis, architecture, technical leadership, Java implementation, or performance work.Skillsprovide focused Java, framework, testing, documentation, security, and observability practices.MCP Serversconnect agents to external tools and project context when available.
A common path is:
/onboarding
|
v
Issue
|
v
/update-issue --> /explore-problem --> /create-acceptance-criteria
|
v
/create-spec --> /explore-design
|
v
/implement-spec --> /close-spec
Start with /onboarding to establish root AGENTS.md and one unambiguous OpenSpec project. Existing prerequisites are preserved. If OpenSpec is missing, select its result path or accept the default documentation/openspec.
For documentation-only or planning work, you may stop after the issue, plan, specification, ADR, or diagram is complete.
